IPI in partnership with the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP), the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, and the Permanent Mission of Denmark to the UN, cohosted the launch event of the 2024 Multilateralism Index on October 17th.

IPI and IEP launched the Multilateralism Index in September 2022. Two years later, we launched a refined and updated version of the index to assess changes in international cooperation over the decade between 2013 and 2023. By providing a quantitative assessment of the multilateral system, the Index provides an analytic tool to inform decision-making and guide political attention.

This launch event presented the key findings of the 2024 Multilateralism Index. It also considered concrete ways to create a stronger, more nimble multilateral system.
